ow what a week. We just took down the shamrocks of St Patty’s Day and now it seems, here comes Peter Cotton Tail. Make sure you get in this week for any last minute egg painting needs. We will be closed on Sunday the 23rd so the whole Utrecht Family can paint their own eggs, or at the very least eat lots of chocolate. So nurse that hangover from too much green beer, frolic in the grass on the first day of Spring on Thursday and eat lots of eggs on Sunday. It will be years before all these things smoosh into just one week again.

Printmakers you asked and asked and we have the sale for you. March 13th to April 13th stop in and take advantage of the paper sale of the year. Over 50 papers will be on sale. Printmaking, watercolor, drawing and mat boards just to name a few. This is a Kansas City Exclusive and won’t last forever. So come in soon before we run out of your favorite thing. Sorry no special orders or rain checks.

I hope you are one of the many artists who already use Utrecht Oil and Acrylic Paint. If you haven’t tried our paint it’s time you should, and I’d like to tell you a few reasons why.

• Utrecht has been making Artists’ Quality Oil and Acrylic Paint since 1949 in Brooklyn, New York. While some retailers hire other companies to produce their brands, Utrecht exclusively manufactures the colors that carry our name.
• Utrecht Artists’ Acrylic Colors are thick, concentrated paint with the maximum pigment load possible. At a price that can’t be beat.
• Utrecht Oil Colors have a buttery rich hand and equal or exceed other brands in quality, at a price no other manufacturer can equal.
• Utrecht produces a huge assortment of paints and mediums in small and large tubes, pints, quarts and even Gallons.

Still not sure… Come into our store any day of the week and give it a try, our demo table is always set up for just this purpose. We love our paint and we know if you give it a try you’ll love it to. We will even give you a sample to try out in your own studio. It’s time to paint!!!

Check out designspongeonline.com a friend recently mentioned this blog to me and I wanted to pass it along.

Only two more days left to gather up the cool holiday sale stuff. It’s all marked down and needs a good home. What’s left will soon be sent to the island of unwanted toys. You don’t want that on your conscience. So take back those plaid pants your Aunt Sofie gave you and come in and buy what you really want. You can also still take advantage of our awesome gift card special. Here’s the deal you can treat yourself to a $50 gift card and get a $5 one for free. It doesn’t get any better than that. Well unless you buy a $100 gift card, then we’ll give you a free $10 gift card. Yeah…. that’s even better. I can keep going, but you get the point. Art supplies for a friend are a good thing. Art supplies for yourself are even better. Who say’s it’s better to give than to receive?

If we don’t see you before, have a Happy New Year!!!
